  That is what I would think too.    If breeders introduce improper texture back into their bloodlines then you would have to worry about getting some pups that are not the right texture.   The problem is that years ago I think there were more cottony coat being shown and bred so I think that is why it is still not always easy to get the right texture even when breeding silk to silk.
